What is Phaco Eye Surgery?
Cataract refers to the condition of the eye in which the lens of the eye becomes damaged and cloudy, resulting in blurred vision, affecting one or both eyes. Cataract surgery is aimed at removing the cloudy lens, in the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens, or intraocular lens in an attempt to restore clear vision. People suffering from diabetic eye problems, age-related macular degeneration, and common eye conditions such as a halo around the eyes, cloudy, blurry, distorted, or multiple visions, low visual acuity at night, and fading of the colours.
It is one of the most frequently carried out and successful surgeries across the globe, with a success rate of 98% and more. There are five types of cataract surgery namely phacoemulsification, extracapsular cataract surgery or SICS, intracapsular cataract surgery, femto laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), and micro-incision cataract surgery (MICS).

Phaco Eye Surgery: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care
Pre-Surgical Measures
- Before cataract surgery, a detailed medical history is taken to identify potential risks (diabetes, hypertension, and any blood disorders).
- A comprehensive eye exam to measure the eye’s structures (the lens, retina, optic nerve, the shape, size, and length of the cornea, and any other structures at the back of the eye) is conducted to confirm the best intraocular lens for the patient.
- To minimize complications, patients may be advised to avoid certain medications and intoxicating habits, fast (8-12 hours), and prophylactic eyedrops.
Procedure
This laser cataract surgery is a common outpatient procedure (the patient is discharged the same day) that is performed in 30-45 minutes by an ophthalmologist or an eye doctor on people over the age of 55. The procedure involves a few steps, including the type of anaesthesia administered according to the patient’s age and the severity of the cataract. The affected or clouded lens is extracted through a laser. This is then followed by the careful application of custom IOL. Then, the incision is self-healed under proper alignment, thus empowering the patients and instilling confidence within them.
Post-Surgical and Recovery Measures
- A brief monitoring is performed before the patient is discharged.
- Refrain from driving the first day after surgery.
- Protect the treated eyes against bright sunlight and resist the urge to rub them.
- Take prescribed medications and eye drops to counter discomfort.
- Avoid strenuous activities, swimming pools, or bathtubs to minimize any risk of infection.
- Attend regular checkups.
